Раздел "Международные отношения" - рубрика "Зарубежный опыт" ; Должностные лица, работающие в уставных государственных учреждениях, обладают особым социальным статусом. Результаты их служебной деятельности формируют мнение о государстве в целом. С давних времен считается, что профессиональная бюрократия (структуры со строгой дисциплиной) должны быть опорой, держащей сильную модель государства и народа. Значит, развитие общества, вызовы цивилизации и культуры, прежде всего, оказывают действие на анализируемую область. В первую очередь, эту особенность предрешает единство властных и социальных услуг в демократическом обществе. Понятие уставной государственной службы охватывает не только публичное администрирование, но и требование в оказании соответствующих социальных услуг. С другой стороны, социальные услуги оказываются многими государственными и негосударственными учреждениями. Поэтому необходимо анализировать различия и способы предоставляемых услуг (деятельность и совокупность контроля над деятельностью и критериев оценки), в виде которых реализуются эти услуги. Итак, уставные службы карьеры современности необходимо анализировать в общем контексте служащих обществу государственных институтов, обосновывая важность условий подготовки и службы уставных должностных лиц – определяя понятие уставного должностного лица карьеры с точки зрения социальных наук (напр., права, политологии, этики). Автор в данной статье не стремится дать ответов на вопросы современности, а пытается выдвинуть гипотезы, побудить самого читателя подключиться к научно-исследовательской деятельности, искать ответы, как решать проблемы на основе методологии, сформулированной классиками публичного администрирования. Поэтому, в силу ограниченного объема статьи, автор основное внимание уделяет только анализу проблем формирования и управления персонала государственной службы в историческом аспекте, и пытается раскрыть одну из особенностей, предполагающую исключительность статуса должностных лиц уставной службы, - методологию контроля и оценки служебной деятельности. Автор статьи надеется заинтересовать читателя тематикой исследования, поэтому аргументация предназначена для выдвижения гипотез, выполнения научного анализа администрирования уставных служб. Личность развивается при участии трех «членов» взаимодействия: субъекта деятельности, условий деятельности и третьего «члена» - самой деятельности. В статье проблема рассматривается, используя теоретические источники и опыт других стран. Уставные службы демократического государства - деполитизированы, правовыми средствами отделены от влияния политических производных. Они выполняют важные функции государственного управления, поэтому необходимо согласиться с тем, что управление этих служб в большой части зависит от общей государственной политики, оно определено конституцией страны. Это важное обстоятельство, которое необходимо учитывать при решении внутренних проблем этих служб, намечая вехи политики кадров. Другое важное обстоятельство – быстро растущая требовательность общества к профессиональности должностных лиц, к их компетенции в области поддержки демократических тенденций развития общества, и это меняет содержание служебной деятельности, предполагает разнообразие концепций контроля над служебной деятельностью. В статье делается предпосылка, что условия деятельности, особенности функций этих служб одновременно требуют нестандартной точки зрения на деятельность должностных лиц, требуют по-своему моделировать мотивацию, стимулы их деятельности. = Officials who work in statutory state services have a special social status. The state as such is judged by officials' service activities. Since long ago, the notion that the bureaucracy (institutions of strict order) is supposed to be the backbone that maintains a strong model of the state and nation. Thus, the development of society, the challenges of civilisation and culture first of all affect the issue concerned. Foremost, this peculiarity is determined by the unity of the administrative and social service in a democratic society. The notion of the statutory state service includes not only public administration but also the requirement to perform respective social services. On the other hand, many other governmental and non-governmental institutions render social services. That is why it is necessary to analyse the services' differences and modes (the activity, its control and evaluation criteria), in which these services are rendered. Thus, modern-day career statutory services have to be analysed in a general context of state institutions serving the society, by giving grounds for statutory officials' preparation, for importance of service conditions- by determining the notion of a statutory official in the view of social sciences, for example- the law, political sciences, ethics). The article does nor aspire to give answers to modern- day questions, but it tries to put forward hypotheses, to encourage the reader to get involved into scientific research, and to look for answers, how to solve the problems through the methodology formulated by the classics of public administration. Since the scope of the article is limited, the author has focused on the analysis of the state service staff forming and management problem in the historical aspect, he also tries to reveal one of the peculiarities which affects the singularity of statutory officials' status — i. e., the methodology of service activity's control and evaluation. The author of the article also hopes to make the reader interested in the topic of his research, therefore, arguments are intended for hypotheses to be put forward and for the scientific analysis of statutory services' administration to be carried out. The personality evolves if three «parties» are involved in the process: the subject of the activity, conditions of the activity, and the third «party» — the activity itself. The «parties» in the article are analysed using theoretical sources and the experience of those democratic countries where statutory services are separate from the influence of political factors. They perform very important functions of the state management; therefore, we must agree that the management of these services depends to a great extent upon the general state policy, which is determined in the Constitution of the State. It is an important factor, which has to be regarded when solving internal problems of these services, when designing the guidelines for the personnel policy. Another factor of importance is a speedily growing exact requirements of the society for the professionalism of civil servants, for their competence in maintaining the tendencies of democratic society development. This changes the content of the service operation, and presupposes a diversity of service activity control. The article formulates the view that the activity conditions, the peculiarities of these services functions require at the same time a non-standard approach towards the officials' activity, they also require special modelling of their activity motivation and incentives.

Раздел "Международные отношения" ; Post-socialist transformation of the CES Countries has become a regular process requiring the appropriate economic strategy and policy. It can already be stated that democratization and market relations are deeply rooted in these countries. That does not mean however that the process itself is over. There is the question of what impact the hard consequences of transition to a market economy will make on united Europe which already includes almost all former socialist allies. Belarus is also implementing reforms aimed at the creation of an efficient market economy which sufficiently competitive on the international level to meet the demands of the overwhelming majority of its people. The end of the reforms depends essentially not on the success of the hit-and-miss attempts. Belarus has considerable opportunities to assess the mistakes other countries made during their structural reforms, in the process of their establishing the institutions of a market economy and of solving social issues. It was also able to evaluate their chances for integration into the European and global economy and to avoid its own mistakes. The integration policies adopted by the Western neighbours which have only until recently been Belarus' friends and partners within the socialist system united by the Council of Economic Mutual Assistance (COMECON) give a good chance to considerate their controversial nature as well as the prospect of development of the other CES states. The governments of these countries declared the accession to the EU to be their priority, regarding it as one of the main guarantors of stable economic development and security (along with NATO). By the end of the 1990s the economies of almost all post-socialist countries started to suffer from serious «growth fatigue». Major manufacturers of material goods (the people, in other words) of these countries expressed a growing dissatisfaction with the methods of reforms. It is obvious that a psychological factor worked here: there is a big gap between expectations and the level of their satisfaction. The people tend to think that the economy is not working well, even if the rate of consumption rate is growing. However, these societies believe that within the EU it will be easier to overcome the challenges of globalisation which has become an unevitable and necessary process and is understood as a means of integration of capital, goods and labour markets the currently which are functioning separate from each other. The experience of involvement into the globalisation processes is extremely important for Belarus. There is no alternative to this involvement (nor to the general market economy model) and this applies more strongly to Belarus than to its neighbours. But the final result will depend on its own development strategy level and the growth policy; however the risk of globalization damage may be higher. The experience of the Belarusian neighbours shows that such government actions as the rapid «shattering» of state foundations during the transition to the market economy without any proper preparation for the loosening of state control over the economy as well as the extremism and incompetence of the authorities themselves has led to negative and unwanted consequences which eventually resulted in corruption corruption and crime in management and the unreadiness of legislation to be systemically transformed.
